Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't need you...
I don't need you...
I don't need you...

I don't you to tell me what I can do
Where I can go and I don't need you to tell me
What I can know what I can not know
I don't need you to tell me
Who I can see who I can not see

I don't you to tell me who I can be with
Who I can be not
I don't need you to tell me who I can be with tonight
And if it feels right
That is only my
That is only my
That is only my
My right

I don't you to tell me what I can do
Where I can go and I don't need you to tell me
What I can know what I can not know
I don't need you to tell me
Who I can see who I can not see

I don't you to tell me who I can be with
Who I can be not
I don't need you to tell me who I can be with tonight
And if it feels right
That is only my
That is only my
That is only my
My right

Next time don't try to control me
Think again cause you don't own me
I'm on my own now
I'm on my own now
Next time don't try to control me
Think again cause you don't own me




I'm on my own now
I'm on my own now
